Do you believe in soul mates?

[Fieryone]

Hi I'm sorta new here and I'm starting with what I think are pretty serious questions. Just wanted to get peoples opinoins.

Do you believe in soul mates? Do you think you'll ever find your sould mate? Do you think that you have maybe found your soul mate?

Thanks for looking at my questions!:cool:

Do you believe in soul mates? Do you think you'll ever find your sould mate? Do you think that you have maybe found your soul mate? Do you think people can find a soul mate over the internet?
No, no, no, no.

I believe if you truly love someone then...(well) you truly love them.

I don't get this "soul mate" stuff...

I dunno. :shrug:

[Elven Moon]

Mmmm... no, not really. You can have real close friends, but "soul mates" might be going too far.

[Sailor Chibi Otaku]

When I find "The One", he will be my one true love, my soul mate.

If I lose him before his time, I highly doubt I will find another one like him. I will be in Yoko Ono's shoes.

There are some people even if you love them and they love you... that it just won't work out between you. These you may love, but they're not your soul mates. There are others who share many interests and ideas with you as well as thinking the same way. If you both love each other, I think these people can be your soul mate. HOWEVER... there are also those who are very different from you in interests, tastes and ideology and these people can ALSO be soul mates. Thus I think everyone has 2. Crazy huh?

PS: Yoko Ono was a home-wrecker :p

These definitions get complicated... all I can say is I think it's probably possible to have multiple people that you're so in love with you could marry them, given the circumstances. Preferably not at the same time, of course :P

If not, I fear I'm screwed, because I've already felt that way once...

This kind of thing would also apply to widows and widowers getting re-married.

I'll also say that I have faith that there's gotta be at least ONE of these people for everyone. I guess you have to believe in some sort of higher power to think that, and I do.

I meant it as when she lost John, she never dated or remarried.

I don't like the whole concept of soul mates, in this sense. I mean, what happens if your "soul mate" never finds you, or dies before you can meet? Does that mean you can't have as good of a love life as you could have, because you either had to settle for someone who was less than your perfect match, or decide to stay single even though you weren't really meant to?

Not trying to be nasty here, btw, I'm just genuinely curious. Although admittedly I'm very pessimistic as far as romance is concerned anyway. :sad:

I don't believe in soul mates, but in extremely compatible matches. There are many of them out there (unless you're some kind of psychopath), but they are scattered all over the world so you still have to look a lot to find them.

I believe a soulmate is someone you're destined to be with and no matter what you'll be with them. If you're never going to India, your soulmate wouldn't be someone living in India, you dig?

Anyhoo, I'm Agnositc bout must of this stuff and could see soulmates existing, I mean a lot of the universe revolves around constants and things being a certain way because that's the way it should be... why can't love be the same way? However I do feel people need to let destiny if it exists lead them and not choose their soulmate. I often find people saying, "This is the only person for me and no one else is loveable," never leads to anything good.

I am looking for someone who fits fairly well and I figure we will fill in the gaps together. That has worked for me so far.

The concept of a soul mate sounds good at first. Who wouldn't want a person put on this earth just to be with them. But really...how depressing. My happiness and sense of being whole is not dependant on any one, no matter how much their personality suits me. Not to mention, it's a great leap of faith. It's much more ideal to me to think, not that there is one person out there perfectly suited to me, but that there are many worthwhile people out there and that are...for lack of a better phrase at present, my kind of people. Just one? In 6,000,000,000? With that many frelling people, there had better be more than ONE! :D ;)
